Suppose f''(x) exists for all real x. If f(2)=2, f(3)=5 and f(4)=10, then which one among the following statements is definitely true?

  1. A f''(x)<1 for some x(2,4)
  2. B f''(x)>1 for some x(2,4)
  3. C f''(x)=1 for some x(2,4)
  4. D f''(x)=0 for some x(2,4)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) f''(x)>1 for some x(2,4)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Consider f(x)=ax2+bx+c f(2)=4a+2b+c=2 …I f(3)=9a+3b+c=5 …II f(4)=16a+4b+c=10 …III Subtract equation I from equation II, 5a+b=3 …IV Subtract equation II from equation III, 7a+b=5 …V Subtract equation IV from equation V, 2a=2…
